Eliminating the need for compressed air

Air Knives and Blowers


You might not think much about your drying and blow-off operations if they’re running smoothly. However, new technology now allows for faster, more thorough drying, greater precision in blow-off, and significant reductions in compressed air usage. Eliminating or reducing compressed air consumption means significant cost savings.

WindJet Air Knives

WindJet Air Knives* use an unique leading-edge design to produce a uniform, high-volume air stream. By leveraging the Coanda effect and air entrainment, they maintain airflow integrity while increasing total air volume. This design eliminates spotting and blotching issues common in other air knives. It also provides a clear visual guide for easy positioning, ensuring optimal coverage and efficiency.

*Custom lengths also available

Regenerative Blowers

Regenerative blowers stand out for their durability, reliability, and minimal maintenance needs. Unlike other blower types, they operate using a dynamic principle that recycles air, delivering performance comparable to multi-stage or positive displacement blowers. The blower is called “regenerative” because some air continuously recirculates between the impeller blades, enhancing efficiency and maintaining steady airflow.
